One-pot meal - homemade rice-a-roni (from The Tightwad Gazette) with ground turkey and peas.

Okay, thanks for explaining. I misunderstood because I didn't mention "guns" in my post at all, so didn't understand how it related to what you...

Thanks. I have a couple different non-meat burgers/patty recipes, each using various beans, mushrooms, carrots, etc. as the main ingredients. Some...

I don't understand your statement. I was referring to this event as possibly being the event ("THIS one") to actually "provoke action to try to stop...

The same old discussions/arguments after these events with nothing eventually being done. I keep wondering if THIS one will be the one to provoke...

Welcome, Eric! I'm a work-in-progress, especially towards minimalism. It's definitely a life-long journey. I look forward to hearing your...

Oh, definitely reminiscent of Romancing The Stone, but definitely better! I think Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum played very well off each other....

I REALLY need to do this, but REALLY have no desire to even start. LOL. Thanks for the reminder.

Congratulations, IL!! Hope it continues to be an easy and successful sale!

Glad you were able to get them from your mom! I keep trying to put my "wants/needs" for certain things out among family and friends before I...

That's so nice of you and your sister, rosa! Glad things are progressing for your mom.

Had a "play day" yesterday, so a lot to get done today. So far, very productive: clothes out on the line, sourdough pizza crust made and ready for...

Had a belated birthday movie night with a sibling and saw three wonderful movies: The Lost City, What We Did On Our Holiday(2nd time for me), and The...

Congrats, beckyliz!!

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

Very impressive, rr! I like the tray.

So good of you to step up and help, tt. What a rough situation!

I know there are recipes available for black bean brownies. Never had them or made them, but sound interesting.

Congrats, IL. Glad it has been resolved for you.

Definitely something to look forward to, Tradd!

That's really great, Tradd! Congrats! Definitely a huge improvement over the past job you had.

Amazing what such a small gesture as a Thank You note can do. Sounds like a win-win for you both.

catherine, since you posted over an hour ago, I hope you have had your exam AND your coffee... or at least your coffee! Wishing you a better day as...

So nice of you to help out, TT.

So how did they turn out? What were the ingredients that made them vegan?

Finally getting back on track with some regular daily and weekly to-do's. Have weekly breakfast made and three days of my salad meals for work. Made...

Nor I. The cluttercore looks more like a way to organize "collections" of stuff than actual miscellaneous clutter.

What fun, rr! And great time spent together with dh and sis. Continued good luck on mastering the techniques. And I, too, would love to see some of...

I haven't worn make-up in over 15 years. I look how I look and don't feel the need to spend the time or the money changing how I look. But that's me....

Last night was lentil and brown rice bake. Tonight will be chicken breast with rice and not sure of veggie yet.

I got a 1 gb Sandisk over 15 years ago and use the heck out of it. When I decided to digitize my cd collection recently, I got another 1 gb (clip...

That is a nice score, jp!

Rave for weekend get-aways!!! Went camping with friends/some family and even the rain didn't dampen the fun and relaxation. I didn't realize how...

Hot dogs left over from camping, hopefully cooked on a new grill! LOL.

I think I had posted a while back that we got rid of the HUGE charcoal grill that hardly ever got used. Trip to Aldi's on Thursday to prep for...

I actually liked and agree with Jane's response regarding the in utero. As for the one day old baby which HAS been born and is outside the uterus,...

Their "residence"? Sorry, Alan, but - in my opinion - your statement has removed any sign of being a human being on the part of the woman and turns...

While it may not seem like it on these forums, what makes you think I have never spoken for a fetus/unborn child? As an fyi, I have. But when/if it...

I was going to post the same thing. LOL. I see two as well.

Cute story! Sounds like it probably ended up being a wonderful memory for your friend.

Nice,tt! I haven't purged yet, but have a pickup date scheduled for next month... after our town wide yard sale. Love that I'll be able to donate...

I love the woodwork! Outside is nice and quaint as well.

My radishes are coming up, some carrots. So far no lettuce, but I think it is still early. The peas and tomatoes I put out last week are still...

Want to talk about being brave? How about actually being pregnant - wanted, unwanted, healthy, unhealthy, alone, with the other biological parent -...

Both very beautiful pictures!!

Experiences and discussion beyond "dead babies", "controlling women", etc are being discussed, but - face it - these and other points ARE issues...

1990's women were still considered to be "man's property"? ROFLOL. Men and the silly ideas they had. >8) And men with those ideas today? >:( ...

The key here being "parental rights relinquished" which is where the foster care system comes in and where that newborn infant becomes a three - four...

Have a sibling who went to schedule one and the doctor would not sign off until after he talked to her husband and got HIS "okay".WTF?????

Nice job, Greg!

Love these pics. Thanks so much for posting.

When I had an IUD (granted, decades ago), the warnings to their use still included possible pregnancy, heavier period, infection and the risk that...

CL, hope everyone fully recovers and quickly.

Nice, catherine! Thanks so much for sharing.

Not necessarily avocados, but I am noticing a couple more of the "old" sale prices on some things lately. For example, fresh broccoli crowns for...

That is so sad for any of the folks that actually purchased.

Came across a "find" at the Dollar Store (or 1.25 store) today. They had four packs of 10 regular canning jar lids (no rings) - I bought 3 of them!...

That is a biggie, catherine! Congrats!

She does have a rather unique way of writing. I found that I had to "learn" how to read her sentences. Once I managed that, it was - again - pretty...
